Review of Lords of Dogtown (2005) by Larisa L — 31 Jul 2008
I love this movie. it's a character piece with a strong, insightful story--a rarity these days. add to that great acting, amazing camera work, and seriously awesome surfing and skateboarding, and you've got a film that's a joy to watch.
I passed on seeing this in the theater because I assumed it would be yet another sex-and-drugs-and-aren't-we-cool skate-ploitation flick. in another director's hands, it well may have been. but catherine hardwicke is a cool ass lady, who injected depth and heart and a female perspective into stacy peralta's autobiographical screenplay.
Watch it. it's great.
